So it’s been about a week brehs and it’s clear this is a quality piece of hardware. Every aspect seems like almost a generational improvement from resolution to audio. I’m playing on a KS8000.
Biggest Impressions:
Madden 18 - resolution, frame rate, HDR, additional graphic details make this really stand out, even seems like a different game from the PS4 Pro version. Not a Madden fan at all but it’s one of my favorite games now.
Wolfenstein 2 & COD WW2- looks great with high dynamic resolution.
Gears 4 & Halo 5 - HUGE improvement over OG Xbox version. Gears looks like the initial reveal trailer demo. Great effects with sharp detail. Halo 5 is a generational improvement. Went from ugly to beautiful. Even changed my feelings about 343i as it seemed the hardware of the OG box held them back.
Backwards Compatibility:
Gears 3 with its 4K and HDR looks better than Gears 4 at times now.
SSX & Ghostbusters (the Gears like game) for Xbox360 have stable frame rates now.
Perfect Dark looks like MS put some sorcery in it. Very clear and sharp. Wish they could get a high res Goldeneye for us.
I’ll check back in a few weeks to give impressions on:
-Quantum Break
-Assassins Creed Origins
-WWE 18
-FFXV (trying to wait this out until all the story parts are added).
Biggest Gripe:
-The download time and space required on the hard drive.
-Dashboard isn’t 4K
